The gift that no one wants at the Senate Hearings: Teddy K
I'm still watching the Alito hearings, as witnesses are commingn forth to testify in reguards to Alito. I don't know why I am still watching these hearings, as I have heard more than enough, more than someone would want to hear, yet I am.
Before I comment on Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Fienstien is once again asking about Roe. She has been rather infatic about Roe during this entire process, as other Sen. predicted she would be. Her being so, backs up what Sen. Coburn stated during his first round with Alito - that Roe and Casey, cases that are foundational to the "right" to murder infant life, are central to these hearings, to make sure that this "right" is secured.
On to the "Teddy Bear". I see him as similar to fruitcake. First off, fruitcake is that one gift during the holidays that no one wants but more often than not has to endure. Second, I see Sen. Kennedy as less than sensible. The Democratic party only lets him open his mouth when it is either safe to do so, or they have no choice, because of the confusing and liberal things that tend to come out of it. As to his role in these hearings, I see him as a broken record with the most horrid music imagineable playing. Over and over and over again he has spewed CAP (of which one of the issues brought up was male eating clubs - one of which, the Owls, Kennedy was a part), Vanguard, and Elecutive Power issues; issues that he has used over and over again to try and trap Judge Alito and cast him in a bad light. This has also lead to a massive cleanup/counterpoint operation on the part of the Republicans on the comittee to take care of the mess that Kennedy has created here. He certianly qualifies a "Chief Bag 'o' Wind" on this committee. I find his kind disgusting. On the bright side, I still see Judge Alito as "Teflon Sam", as the garbage and stink slides off him and rests at his feet for the Republican members of the committee to deal with.
May he speedily be confirmed.
